I had to go back and check my spreadsheet. It's only about ten days old. We had some cool weather so I left it out 5 days instead of four. The extra day made it a lot easier to smooth the surface since it was still a bit hard on the fourth. The "start eating" date is 26th Feb. according to the recipe.

Another question: Do you turn this and how often?

I flip mine daily for the first week, then every other day the next, then once or twice for the rest of the ageing period.I do air them every day for a half hour or more.

Thanks for the replies. I had picked up on the airing from other posts here. It is a little damp on the bottom when I flipped it and I gently touched it with paper towel to dry it off and then let it air for 40 minutes.I will start poking it in a couple of days.
